This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

The entire business model of American R1 universities is not viable without restoration of federal funding, & every individual institution pretending it can solve this problem alone is also not viable. University presidents need to be speaking out, collectively & loudly about this, in DC, right now.

Thank you to Senate Democrats for unifying in opposition to Republicans’ scheme to punish working families. Democrats played procedural hardball and spent hours on the floor debating overnight, filing close to 100 amendments and forcing votes on 23 of them.

So the President has abruptly fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Charles Q. Brown Jr., and is replacing him with a retired three star general, Dan Caine. This portends a future grave crisis as the President attempts to restructure the military into one personally loyal to him.

Staffing the security apparatus and justice department with loyalists and purging non loyal elements is a hallmark of authoritarian regimes. It’s not a “shake up”; it’s power consolidation.

The cruelty from this administration is in part to distract from their rampant incompetence. They want you outraged so you forget that they “mistakenly” fired scientists combatting bird flu and the experts that maintain our nuclear weapons.

I’m begging the media to call Nazi salutes … “Nazi salutes.” You can write “he gave a Nazi salute.” That’s the proper journalism. Describe things as they are even if people get mad.

Trump is stiffing the US Catholic church $25 million by halting payments related to refugees, a new lawsuit alleges. It says 1000s of refugees in the US are now without basic help the US had promised. The impact is "devastating," says the suit, and the Trump moves are "unlawful"

From the experience of the successful grassroots fight against Netanyahu's attempt at judicial overhaul, I cannot stress enough three points: 1. Civil society should not assume that opposition politicians will take the lead. In Israel, politicians were not the ones leading the fight. CS was.
